01:00-01:30 "It's Never Expected"

“Hey, have you seen Rainbow Dash?” asked Twilight Sparkle, as she passed Fluttershy in the market that morning, “I’ve got some questions about flight from her lesson yesterday.”

“Oh, um, I don’t think you should go looking for her right now. You know, if that’s alright.”

“Oh, come on, Fluttershy? Please? It’s just a few teeny tiny little questions.”

“I really don’t think she wants to be disturbed now.”

“Pleease?” whined Twilight, grasping at Fluttershy’s hooves, and the rest of the market place was treated to the sight of the Princess lying on the ground as FLuttershy began backing away.

“I’m sorry Twilight, but Rainbow asked me to make sure that she’s not disturbed. I can show you where she is, but you have to promise to not bother her.”

“Oh, thank you thank you thank you, Fluttershy!” Twilight bounced around, and Fluttershy began to lead the Princess away from Ponyville. They eventually arrived at the Ponyville clock tower, where Twilight could make out the form of Rainbow Dash, precariously balanced atop the very tip of the tower on one front hoof, with her other three hooves splayed out in all directions.

“What in Equestria is she doing?”

“She’s, um, meditating,” whimpered Fluttershy, “And practicing her balance. She might also be working on her novel too.” As the pegasus and the alicorn watched, Rainbow carefully changed from balancing on her front left hoof to her front right hoof, and adopted a new, equally unstable position.

“When did Rainbow Dash, of all ponies, start meditating? And why is she doing it like that?”

“She’s doing it like that because, um, she needs to be doing something else at the same time for her mind to concentrate. I think she started doing it shortly after she followed me down to Ponyville.”

Twilight couldn’t take it. Her mind couldn’t comprehend the idea of Rainbow Dash, the most restless and potentially egotistic pegasus she’d ever met, doing something that required perfect inner peace and harmony. She decided to fly up, and get a closer look, but was interrupted by Fluttershy tackling her out of the sky, and pulling her down into a perfect germaneigh suplex.

“Please don’t disturb her. You know, if that’s ok.” Twilight would have voiced the question of where the heck Fluttershy had picked up Equuish Wrestling, but her mouth was full of dirt.

Up upon her perch, Rainbow Dash cracked one eye open, and grinned as she watched Fluttershy take Twilight down. She closed her eye again, took a deep breath, and returned to her meditation.
